However, when we say something is bad, it obviously is. And no, we do not make up stories for hits. Now some of you may be wondering why we are starting this news story this way. Well, the reason is obvious. A couple of months ago, we were criticized for our Dark Souls story. People started yelling that we were lying and such, beautiful and wonderful things. Fast forward a couple of months and here we are today, bringing you solid facts about the PC version of Dark Souls."
"Online features for the PC version of Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (DX11) have been reactivated.
Online features for the base version of #DarkSouls II for PC (DX9) will be made available at a later date.
Our thanks for your continued patience and support."
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition saw the Souls series debut on PC 10 years ago today, alongside Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 re-releases.
And it was garbage.
Luckily it was easily fixed by a modder who actually wanted a good product to be sold to people.
Dark Souls tweets: "PvP servers for Dark Souls 3, Dark Souls 2, and Dark Souls: Remastered have been temporarily deactivated to allow the team to investigate recent reports of an issue with online services.
Servers for Dark Souls: PtDE will join them shortly.
We apologize for this inconvenience."
If this remains true for release, then this is pitiful. A truly pi**-poor job. There is no good reason why any of this should be true, and when coupled with the insistence of using GFWL, it is effectively unacceptable. You have no one but yourselves to blame if this game receives laughably low sales and a high piracy rate.
For shame.
More to that, how has it taken them nearly a year to achieve something BELOW the bare minimum requirement for a PC release? They've haven't really even changed anything, just added a few little bits of content here and there. This harkens back to those awful Capcom ports of DMC and RE4 from years back.
'Crappy' console port for PC, again.
Tbh I saw this coming when they announced it as GFWL. Alot of these games are basically up-ressed 360 ports.
Still worth a buy/ MY fav game this gen. Unless you don't want it because it is a 'port' instead of getting the upgrades that should be standard for Console to PC ports.
Well at least we know PC fans don't care about the actual game and only care about its fidelity. Oh well, its real fans will continue to support it just as long as Demon's Souls fans have supported that game.
